(Psychotherapy Of A Plains Indian)," a picture that meanders and focuses far too heavily on its subtitle, rather than on its two lead characters, who are presented with promise, but are ultimately left underdeveloped. When we first meet Jimmy P., it's three years after the war, and he's at his sister's home, suffering deeply.
